Taxes were levied to pay for that protection much as they are levied in the U.S. today.<BR/><BR/>Americans were by no means second-class citizens in the Thirteen Colonies, but had their own legislatures with the power to pass laws to govern them, so long, of course, as these were not in conflict with those approved by parliament. <BR/><BR/>Englishmen who settled in America enjoyed the same rights as Englishmen born in America. Englishmen born in America enjoyed the same rights in England as Englishmen did.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the Colonies <I>were</I> colonies much as Puerto Rico is a colony of the U.S. This does not mean that Puerto Ricans are not free. It simply means that they are not independent.<BR/><BR/>I think it would be fair to say that most people on earth <I>today</I> would be a lot freer and happier if they enjoyed the rights that the colonists did under Britain. Certainly, in 1776, there weren't any people freer in the Americas, or, indeed, anywhere else.<BR/><BR/>That was precisely my point: revolutions happen because freedom abets them.

They were not. They were given second class citizenship and were subject to the Privy council and English governors. <BR/><BR/>If you will recall Ben Franklin's petitions before Parliament during his years there in the decades before the War of Independence, his argument was they were not treated and given the full rights of English citizens esp. when it came to their own affairs.<BR/><BR/>Hence why the outcry against taxation.

The Hubert Matos issue is one of those.<BR/>It ALWAYS bothered me how evasive he was about question regarding the "revolution". That farce that only now after 50 years of waving in the wind is becoming a tattered flag that allows us to see the truth through its raged gaps. A sham! The Madison Aveneue revolution. Calvin Klein should’ve been proud of this one. As for Matos? Why was Camilo killed and Hubert was not? And as you say if Hubert believes that he participated in a patriotic endeavor playing a part on this piece of histrionic bullshit 50 years ago, but claims that ONE man was the traitor but that the ideals were pure and patriotic, he deserves whatever fate had befallen him and the absolute disdain of those he deceived and keeps on deceiving. And yes Mr. T, I thoroughly agree. No one who participated at any level in that murderous charade is without guilt. That includes my family members who occupied high ranking positions in El Directorio Estudiantil.<BR/>In my trips to Cuba I have confronted this issue and have been told “we were deceived" Okey, so why didn’t you IMMEDIATELY take back weapons against the monster?<BR/>There is never a good answer. KaSStro by himself could not have done it all!<BR/>There are MANY whose Revolution facade will be removed and the bare truth will reveal agendas that had little to do with patriotism.Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893125932355098495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-85214759394466525372008-05-04T14:12:00.000-04:002008-05-04T14:12:00.000-04:00John:Fidel Castro just killed one of your presiden...John:<BR/><BR/>Fidel Castro just killed one of your presidents and nearly blew up your country, but, hey, he's not your problem.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-39208863109744013202008-05-04T13:45:00.000-04:002008-05-04T13:45:00.000-04:00Anon 12:08, good luck to your family and yourself,...Anon 12:08, good luck to your family and yourself, I will say a prayer for Joe.Vanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340793573089792646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-47962280726191930272008-05-04T13:42:00.000-04:002008-05-04T13:42:00.000-04:00Awsome Manuel and oh so true, a hungry people cann...Awsome Manuel and oh so true, a hungry people cannot rise against tyrants, indeed free people who have arms and are able to meet together have a better chance at rebellion, when you must wake up each day worried about what to feed your children, the last thing in your mind is to take to the streets unarmed.<BR/><BR/>I'm off to the Cuban Festival! gonna go rub elbows with my country men and catch up with old Cuban friends, will see you all tomorrow.Vanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340793573089792646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-36392961192213731342008-05-04T12:39:00.000-04:002008-05-04T12:39:00.000-04:00John:By Castro's count there have been some 638 at...John:<BR/><BR/>By Castro's count there have been some 638 attempts to assassinate him, more than one attempt per month over 49 years. None has succeeded because Castro has always had his praetorian guard to protect him. It is when Ceausescu's own praetorian guard abandoned him that his enemies could deal him some long overdue justice.<BR/><BR/>Americans have also attempted to kill Fidel over the years. What happened to your countrymen? Were <I>they</I> too "timid" to do the job despite being backed by the most powerful government on earth? Surely they were not locked into issues of "victimhood" because Castro had almost managed to hoodwink them, blackmail them and otherwise get the better of them? Or was it just a question of "not getting the right price" to do the job right? Or, perhaps, even of Castro paying them the "right price" not to do it?Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-57938722795379795502008-05-04T12:20:00.000-04:002008-05-04T12:20:00.000-04:00Mat, it took a few bullets to kill off Nicolae Cea...Mat, it took a few bullets to kill off Nicolae Ceauşescu and his wife.<BR/><BR/>Stop peddling the shallow Cuban exile victimhood, and start taking responsibility!!<BR/><BR/>Im sure there is a merc in "Blackwater" at the right price, who would do what Cubans are too timid to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-31820011223842510472008-05-04T11:22:00.000-04:002008-05-04T11:22:00.000-04:00John:The overthrow of Ceausescu did not happen in ...John:<BR/><BR/>The overthrow of Ceausescu did not happen in a vacuum.

Did 20 years in Castro's prisons expiate for those sins? I think it would have if he had admitted and expressed remorse for them.
